‘K-Identity’ Concludes with Insight, Celebration, and Cultural Connection
The Korean Cultural Centre in South Africa (KCCSA) successfully concluded its eight-week cultural lecture series, K-Identity: A Deep Dive into Korean Identity, wrapping up on 25 June with a vibrant closing session that combined knowledge, creativity, and shared celebration.
Launched in early May, the K-Identity programme set out to offer participants a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the foundations of Korean identity—through the lenses of history, geography, language, clothing, food, housing, and more. Over the course of two months, attendees engaged in weekly sessions that combined lectures with hands-on cultural activities, sparking thoughtful dialogue and growing a strong sense of community.
The final week brought together all the themes covered in the programme, as participants from the research team presented their own projects on topics such as Korean pop culture, media, and technological innovation. The presentations were accompanied by interactive activities that encouraged reflection on how Korean identity continues to evolve in a global context.
To mark the completion of the programme, participants received certificates acknowledging their dedication and curiosity throughout the eight weeks. The series concluded on a joyful note, with a closing party featuring popular Korean street foods such as tteokbokki and gimbap, offering a final moment of shared culture and connection.
The K-Identity programme not only deepened participants’ understanding of Korea but also opened space for meaningful cultural exchange—highlighting the growing interest in Korean heritage, values, and everyday life among South African audiences.
The Korean Cultural Centre in South Africa looks forward to continuing to build bridges between Korea and South Africa through dynamic, inclusive, and community-driven programmes.
